Artificial intelligence algorithms need big amounts of information. The methods utilized to obtain this data have raised issues about personal privacy, security and copyright.

AI-powered gadgets and services, such as virtual assistants and IoT products, continuously gather personal details, raising concerns about invasive information gathering and unauthorized gain access to by 3rd parties. The loss of personal privacy is further exacerbated by AI's capability to process and integrate huge amounts of information, potentially resulting in a security society where private activities are constantly monitored and examined without adequate safeguards or transparency.

Sensitive user data gathered might consist of online activity records, geolocation data, video, or audio. [204] For example, in order to build speech recognition algorithms, Amazon has tape-recorded countless personal conversations and permitted short-term workers to listen to and transcribe some of them. [205] Opinions about this widespread monitoring variety from those who see it as a necessary evil to those for whom it is plainly dishonest and a violation of the right to privacy. [206]
AI developers argue that this is the only way to provide valuable applications and have developed a number of strategies that try to maintain privacy while still obtaining the data, such as information aggregation, de-identification and differential personal privacy. [207] Since 2016, some privacy professionals, such as Cynthia Dwork, have actually started to see privacy in regards to fairness. Brian Christian composed that professionals have rotated "from the concern of 'what they understand' to the concern of 'what they're making with it'." [208]
